The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB)
has advised public office holders at federal and state levels to declare their
asset before assuming offices, in their own interest.
Mr Daniel Okafor, CCB Anambra
Director, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
on Wednesday in Awka.
He said that the Constitution was
clear on that for both federal and state workforce.
“Section 209 of the Constitution
compels the state workforce while section 172 compels federal workforce to
declare theirs.
“It is after that is done that
persons concerned can take their oath of office,” he said.
Okafor called on public office
holders to follow the example of President Muhammadu Buhari in declaring his
asset and submitting same.
“If President Buhari can collect
form from us to declare his asset, I don’t know why any public office holder
will want to hide his or her asset from the people they want to serve.
“Those that fail to declare
theirs will have themselves to blame when we send their names to our tribunal
at Abuja for prosecution,” he said.
